Federal High Court in Lagos has struck out the firearm charges against the suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele.
Gatekeepers News reports that Justice Nicholas Oweibo struck out the charge for want of diligent prosecution on Thursday.
This followed the withdrawal application made by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) of the Ministry of Justice, Mohammed Abubakar.
The DPP had made an oral application to the court to withdraw the charge against Emefiele at the last adjourned date.
Abubakar stated that the application was informed by imaging facts and for circumstances that need further investigations and urged the court to grant the application.
This is a developing story.
